As much as I am a Bradley apologist (and from all the **** I take here and elsewhere about it, I’ve come to realize I am), I still understand that he is not connecting with fans, his teammates, management or the media.

Lost amid the GM’ing brilliance on display this past week was one small question:
What happens when Bradley is gone?
See, it’s all fine and good to join the the undergraduate pile-on now that Bradley has been made into the scapegoat for 2009, but the simple fact is that the Cubs, upon trading him, will have to replace him. The need for an RBI guy is still there, according...

The more I read and think about the Milton Bradley situation, the more I tend to agree with Baseball Prospectus’ paywalled Joe Sheehan: This mess is Jim Hendry’s fault, too. From Sheehan’s column:
I expect Jim Hendry to know these things, but if Hendry were to admit that Bradley has played about as well and [...]

The Cubs suspended Milton Bradley on Sunday after he made what management considered intemperate remarks to the Daily Herald:
When asked if he was disappointed in his own performance, he didn't want to answer that, either.
"I'm not talking about that," he said. What do you think I did?"

Ok, exhale. It's going to be alright, football is back. You no longer have to sit and watch highlights of 68 year old men running onto the field in "uniforms" that look more ridiculous than Donald Duck at Disney World bitching about balls and strikes. America's game my ass!! Why this venom, you ask? Well mostly because the seasons just too damn long. Secondly I'm a very tired and...
